Website Down

Over the past week our web hosting company has suffered a DDoS attack. (distributed denial-of-service attack.) A DDoS attack is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users. There was a brute force attempt to hammer every WordPress website like ours. All of their data centers, east coast, west coast, and central USA was offline for over 24 hours. They were simply unreachable. It appears that the host company has come up with a fix but it was really inconvenient while it lasted. It is hard to tell with these things if it is over or not. We will keep our fingers crossed.

So you want to keep playing baseball

Little league is coming to an end and there are many players who are interested in continuing to play but they don’t know where to go next. At the present time Tempe South Little League does not have the facilities to offer year round baseball. With our renewed partnership with the City there maybe fall and winter baseball in our future, but for the fall of 2013 here are the options I know of:

1. Summer Camps at Arizona World of Baseball
2. Club Baseball
3. Chandler Youth Baseball (Pony Baseball)
4. East Valley Baseball
5. NYS

I will walk through each opportunity and share a bit of what I know.  Click below to keep reading.

Even the Pros Get It Wrong Occassionally


The one caution I would make here is using a professional manager as a role model here. In little league it is never okay to come out of the dug out the way the Tampa Bay Manager does. Yes this is a horrible call, but remember, these umps are the best umps baseball can find and even they will make a bad call. So we shouldn’t be so hard on our local guys, and especially the kids.

Because guess what changed after Joe Madden had his temper tantrum?

Absolutely nothing.

The call stands.

Save yourself the heart burn and instead of focusing on the bad call, be grateful for every good call that is made. Because even the best get it wrong every now and then.

Earl Weaver said, “If you took away errors and umpires no one would watch the game.”

Concession Hours

TSLL-Concessions
There has been some confusion over the concession stand hours.

The concession stand is open:

Tues and Thurs from 5pm – 9pm
Sat. 8:30am – 1 pm, then from 5pm – 9 pm.

We are trying to see if they will be willing to open their portable cart on Mondays and Wednesdays.  Kelsey and Brandon have done a tremendous job running the operation for us this spring, any problems were typically misscomunication on TSLL’s part.
